TOP MEDICAL SPECIALTIES OFFERED BY HIRSLANDEN KLINIK, ST. ANNA 1. Breast Reconstruction 2. Gastrointestinal Disorders 3. Myocardial disease • BREAST RECONSTRUCTION A surgical procedure performed to make the breast look as natural as possible after the breast tissue has been taken out due to breast cancer is called breast reconstruction. It is performed by a plastic surgeon trained to do this surgery. It sometimes involves more than one operation. Sometimes you also need surgery performed on the breast that didn't have cancer to make both breasts look symmetrical. The decision to undergo this surgical procedure is a personal choice. It is advised that patients talk to their cancer surgeon and a plastic surgeon about breast reconstruction before breast removal surgery. If you decide on having breast reconstruction surgery, the doctors at The Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna will first take your complete history and perform a physical examination. They will assess your overall health and check the amount of tissue left for reconstruction. Your plastic surgeon at The Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna will then let you know if breast reconstruction is an option for you. The timing of breast reconstruction depends upon which treatments you had for your breast cancer and when you are ready to have another surgical procedure. There are three types of breast reconstruction surgeries according to timing including Immediate reconstruction, Delayed reconstruction and Immediate-delayed procedure. Immediate reconstruction procedure is performed at the same time following breast tissue removal surgery called mastectomy. Delayed reconstruction is done 3–4 weeks after chemotherapy and 4–6 weeks after radiation therapy. Immediate-delayed reconstruction is a combination of the former two options. After your breast reconstruction surgery, you will be allowed to go home after a few hours to days of observation. Follow-up is an integral part of breast reconstruction. Your healthcare team will work with you to decide on follow-up care to meet your needs. During a follow-up visit, your healthcare team will ask usual questions about the side effects of treatment and how you're coping. • GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS Gastrointestinal diseases affect the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. There are two types of gastrointestinal diseases, functional and structural. Functional conditions are those in which the GI tract looks normal when examined but doesn't function properly. Functional conditions are the most common problems affecting the GI tract. Some examples of functional GI tract abnormalities include constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, food poisoning, gas, bloating, GERD and diarrhea. Structural gastrointestinal conditions are those in which the gut looks abnormal upon examination. Some structural abnormality needs to be removed surgically. Structural GI diseases include cancerous and noncancerous diseases. Non-cancerous conditions include strictures, stenosis, hemorrhoids, diverticular, and inflammatory bowel disease. Cancerous diseases include colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer. The Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna doctors are avid believers of early prevention. Multiple diseases of the colon and rectum can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, practicing good bowel habits and getting regularly screened for cancer. The doctors also recommend colonoscopy for average-risk patients at age 45. Suppose you have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. In that case, you should consult a doctor at The Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna earlier and get a colonoscopy at a younger age. The doctor might recommend colonoscopy ten years younger than the affected family member with cancer. • MYOCARDIAL DISEASES Myocardial diseases can be diseases of the heart muscle, and they can be subdivided into two types; primary and secondary myocardial diseases. The primary disease is most commonly caused by genetic factors, whereas secondary myocardial diseases are mainly acquired but may be triggered by genetic background. One of the most common primary myocardial diseases is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is associated with various genetic abnormalities. The secondary myocardial disease that happens after a known origin should have timely correction of the originating illness, which may result in the reversal of the cardiomyopathy. There are nine different etiologies of secondary myocardial diseases, including Hypertension, Ischemia, Valvular disease, Alcohol, Metabolic cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, Peripartum cardiomyopathy and Tachycardia. There are five different groups of primary myocardial diseases referred to as cardiomyopathies that are defined as diseases of the myocardium with impaired cardiac function. These include Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), Arrhythmic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and Unclassified cardiomyopathy (UCM). If you have chest pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, syncope or palpitations, you should consult a doctor at The Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna. Their well-trained doctors will ask you questions, examine, and assess your health. The doctors might recommend diagnostic tests, including ECG, echocardiogram, myocardial biopsy and blood tests. The doctor will then treat the patient's disease according to the underlying cause.
